How to Find the Legal Description of Any Property in 2 Minutes

A legal description in real estate is a detailed way of describing a parcel of land in a document that will be accepted by a court of law. It uniquely identifies and accurately locates and describes the boundaries of the property, distinguishing it from all other properties. Legal descriptions are used in deeds, leases, and other legal documents to ensure there is no ambiguity about the property being transferred or encumbered. The main types of legal descriptions are: *Metes and Bounds*: This is the oldest type of legal description and is often used for rural land. It describes the boundaries of a parcel by referencing physical features, distances (metes), and directions (bounds). It typically starts at a well-defined point (like a landmark or a marker) and follows the boundaries of the land by directions and distances, ending back at the point of origin. Lot and Block (Recorded Plat): This method is commonly used in residential, commercial, and urban areas. A plat is a map of a land area, usually divided into lots, which are numbered or lettered. The legal description refers to these lot and block numbers, along with the name of the subdivision and sometimes the map book and page number where the plat is recorded in the county records. Legal descriptions must be written clearly to avoid misunderstandings or disputes over property boundaries, which can be crucial in any real estate transaction or legal proceeding.
